Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother

Chapter 15

There was a female student in the next class named Lilac Hawthorn. She was a new transfer student from a different city. She had a small frame and a round face and wore her hair short. Every time she smiled, two dimples would appear on her cheeks that made her look sweet and endearing.

I saw her walking with Felix many times at school. I’d stare and stare at their hands that always seemed to be intertwined. My heart would break each time I saw them together.

The day after SATS, I saw Felix pulling her to a corner and telling her that he would go to the same college she was going to. He said that he wanted to be her knight in shining armor and protect her for the

rest of his life.

When I heard that, I swore my heart felt like it was smashed into a million pieces.

There was only so much time and energy one could spend on others. Since Felix decided to be Lilac’s knight in shining armor, there was no way he could also be my guardian angel at the same time. It was just a feeble attempt at redemption for him to feel less guilty about what he did in the past.

But I was a living, breathing being, and I didn’t want to continue getting hurt. I didn’t want the pain to linger or last forever. I couldn’t possibly bear to continue seeing them being sweet to each other for the rest of my college life because it would be pure torture for me.

I didn’t want that.

I’d given 18 years of myself to Felix. But from the 19th year onward, I wanted to be myself once more.

Which meant that there was no way I’d apply for the same college or university that he did.
